ALBANY, n. Y, May 2G.-The speak
er's gayel fell for the last time in the
assembly chamber at 1910 p. m, but
Just as the audience and members were
leaving the chamber, the speaker re.
mounted the rostum and announced that
Editor William O'Brten was in the room,
and extended him an invitation to mount
the platform beside him. The chamber
at this time was nearly filed with specta-
tors, many of whom were ladies, and d
large proportion of whom had followed
Editor O'Brien on his tour through the
city into the capital. A passage was
soon formed in the center aisle, through
which Mr.. O'Brien passed. The famous
editor, who appeared TO be in good health
and spirits, was greeted Tith hearty ap-
plause. Mr.. O'Brien made ten-minute
speech, in which he referred to the uni
versal hospitality with which he has been
received everywhere in America, to the
feeling of security be experienced
when he found himself under the
glorious stars and stripes at Cape
Vincent, and to the great honor now
accorded him by the Legislature of New
York. The Irish cause, he declared,
would ever g on. Nothing could daunt
its promoters. They had the greatest
leader in history, and the greatest living
an-Gladstone-for their advo-
cate. The Liberal party OF England had
never undertaken great movement
which it mad not ultimately carried to
success. He could assure them, he said,
that American sympathy greatly nerved
and encouraged every advocate and pro-
moter of the Irish cause-even PaTnell
and Gladstone themselves.
Speaker Hssted referred to the fact
that seven years ego he bad the honor to
pres ent Mr.. Parnell In the chamber, and
that two years ago while he Speaker
Husted) was abroad, Mr.. Parnell con-
firmed the very statement which Mr..
O'Brien had Just made-thst American
sympathy was very grateful TO them,
Mr.. O'Bdien then retired from the cham
Der amid hearty applause.
LANsDowNE SPEAKS.
TORONTO, ONT, MAJ 26.-The National
Club last evening entertained the
Marquis of Lansdowne. In reply 10 q
toast the Governor General made g long
address, which was frequently applauded
and interrupted with cheers by the assem-
lly of prominent citizens around the
table. Referring TO the fishery question
he said the papers which have recently
been made public contain portfolio OF his
tory of these transactions; "that history
is aU unsatisfactory one if we have regard
to the length of time during which this
dispute has remained unadjusted. It
must be ource Of pain, l would al
most say of humiliation, that we should
for so many months have been unable to
adjust a dispute which, although
not without its local Importance
is, after all, not one Of tirst-rate
magnitude; but in spite of all that has
hap ened | may say that both govern
ments have shown the greatest anxiety to
avoid any action likely to increase the
tension Of feeling existing. The case is
imminently one in which each side ought
10 make some allowance for the other.
If each side will approach the question
in a moderate spirit and with determine
zion to make some allowance for the diff
cultleS of the other, | feel no doubt thst
we need have no apprehension of the re-
suit" In conclusion the Marquis spoke
of the kind and hopeful reception he had
met with and said: "Your conduct has
in fact once and for all established that
the Queens representative in Canada, so
long as his conduct in any other capacity
has not been called in question by consti-
tutional methods in the legisla-
ture either of Canada or his
own country, may safely leave
his public or his privste reputation in the
custody of your people. 1t has shown
more, for 1t has afforded a signal proof of
not only of this, but of your adherence
for the methods of those who seek to
achieve by intimidation and persecution
what they knew could not be obtained by
legitimate courses. If could ever have |
had any doubt as to the result, IS to
the action of your people, you have re-
moved it. The appeal has been made to
you by your judgment, am perfectly
content to abide by ite
